Custom animations

Since KoalaGuy was deleted, all his posts are gone. One of those posts was about custom animations. So here I am remaking the tutorial
To define your animation:
Code: Select all
[
{
"id":"myanimation",
"frames":[ {
"bmp":"myanim.png"
"move x":5 //In moment number 1,
//our animation will be in x 5
"move y":16 //and in y 16
},{
"bmp":"myanim.png"
"move x":10 //In moment number 2,
//our animation will be in x 10
"move y":16 //and in y 16
}
]
"handle interpolation":5 //5 ticks between
//moment 1 and moment 2
}
]
To use it:
Code: Select all
[
{
"id":"buildingwithanimation",
"type":"decoration",
"width":1,
"height":1,
"frames":[{"bmp":"basepart.png"}],
"animation":[
{"id":"myanimation"}
]
}
]
I hope I didn't mess up with anything

You mean "move x" and "move y" or "x" and "y"?

"x" and "y" select a certain part of a image. For example
Code: Select all
"frames":[{
"bmp":"file.png",
"x": 20,
"y":40,
"w": 30,
"h":50
}]
will use a 30×50 rectangle starting at point 20,40 of file.png and set it as the building's frame. You don't to use them in animations. You can use them in any building
"move x" and "move y" are for animations. They set the position of the animation in a specific moment
In the first example of this topic, I made the animation go from (5,16) to (10,16)

I know we can put animations on roads, but....
Can it like... be tile dependent?
like frame 1-16 each have different animations, is that possible??
If so, can I have an example???

Okay, let me check...
You took the pictures, made them into parks (+ animation), steal those parks textures and make those into animation themselves, took those textures and uses them as BG/FG animation for the road... right?
Wow.....

Yep. Putting them into parks for storage was to save plugin space. It isn't necessary, you could define textures in the animations themselves. If you wanted 16 different animations though, you have to define each one separately as frames in the animations would cycle through all the frames in it for each road tile.

Wait, could I make a rocket? Like the one from the missile silo? Because I'm making a space exploration plugin.
